Integrating 3D printing into an early childhood teacher preparation course: Reflections on practice     

Pamela Sullivan  Holly McCartney 《Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education》2017,38(1):39-51

This reflection on practice describes a case study integrating 3D printing into a creativity course for preservice teachers. The theoretical rationale is discussed, and the steps for integration are outlined. Student responses and reflections on the experience provide the basis for our analysis. Examples and resources are provided, as well as a discussion of lessons learned.  相似文献

Exploring the challenges experienced by international students during work-integrated learning in Australia     

Denise Jackson 《Asia Pacific Journal of Education》2017,37(3):344-359

This study explores the challenges experienced by international students during Work Integrated Learning (WIL) in Australia. Student participation in WIL not only enhances individual student employability but also the attractiveness of Australia as a study destination. WIL, in particular work placements, is in high demand by international students who seek to gain relevant experience in their host country and increase their chances of employment post-study. Data were gathered from employers, academics and students on the challenges faced by international students during the WIL experience and how WIL is currently being managed for the international cohort. Stakeholders identified a number of challenges which impact on student performance and the success of their WIL experience. These include cultural differences, inflated expectations, difficulties managing assessment tasks, relatively weak language skills and an imbalance in the support needed by international students in comparison to what is on offer. Stakeholder strategies to manage these challenges are discussed.  相似文献   

Pre-service teachers’ attitudes toward education for sustainability and its relevance to their learning: implications for pedagogical practice     

Louisa Tomas  Sarah Girgenti  Cliff Jackson 《Environmental Education Research》2017,23(3):324-347

The education for sustainability (EfS) literature espouses participatory, praxis-orientated, place-based and holistic approaches to teaching and learning. The introduction of a first-year EfS unit for pre-service teachers at James Cook University provided an opportunity to explore their attitudes toward EfS and their perceptions of the relevant aspects of the unit to their learning. In this mixed-methods study, pre-service teachers (N = 100) completed a Likert-style survey at the beginning and end of the unit that examined their attitudes toward EfS. Three pre-service teachers were also interviewed to explore further their perceptions and experiences, one semester after completing the unit. Significant improvements were found in pre-service teachers’ EfS self-efficacy, and familiarity with and interest in sustainability issues. Participants also perceived EfS to be relevant to their learning, particularly the praxis-orientated pedagogies in which they engaged, as they believed it developed their knowledge, skills and confidence to teach sustainability in schools. For one pre-service teacher, her experiences of EfS during her practicum enhanced its relevance, as she was able to link theory and practice. The implications of these findings for both teacher education and pedagogical practice for EfS in higher education are also discussed.  相似文献

数字的未来在中国——2002国际数学家大会侧记     

AllynJackson 《学会》2003,(12):30-32

20 0 2国际数学家大会 (ICM ) ,于 2 0 0 2年 8月2 0 - 2 8日在中国北京举行。这次大会充满了“第一” :ICM第一次在一个发展中国家举行 ;第一次有举办国的最高领导人出席ICM的开幕式 ;许多出席大会的数学家是第一次来到中国 ;即使对那些以前曾来过中国的与会者 ,由于这个国家近年来的巨大变化 ,他们也觉得是到了一个新地方。中国的组织者的友好和热情 ,不仅反映了这个国家历史悠久的对学问和知识的尊重 ,也说明了他们已认识到加强中国的科学研究能力 ,对国家未来的发展有举足轻重的作用。“这是一次非常特别的ICM ,确实是绝无仅有的”…  相似文献

Two-stage screening for math problem-solving difficulty using dynamic assessment of algebraic learning     

Fuchs LS  Compton DL  Fuchs D  Hollenbeck KN  Hamlett CL  Seethaler PM 《Journal of learning disabilities》2011,44(4):372-380

The purpose of this study was to explore the utility of a dynamic assessment (DA) of algebraic learning in predicting third graders' development of mathematics word-problem difficulty. In the fall, 122 third-grade students were assessed on a test of math word-problem skill and DA of algebraic learning. In the spring, they were assessed on word-problem performance. Logistic regression was conducted to contrast two models. One relied exclusively on the fall test of math word-problem skill to predict word-problem difficulty on the spring outcome (less than the 25th percentile). The second model relied on a combination of the fall test of math word-problem skill and the fall DA to predict the same outcome. Holding sensitivity at 87.5%, the universal screener alone resulted in a high proportion of false positives, which was practically reduced when DA was included in the prediction model. Findings are discussed in terms of a two-stage process for screening students within a responsiveness-to-intervention prevention model.  相似文献   

Performativity,well‐being,social class and citizenship in English schools     

Pamela Fisher 《Educational studies》2011,37(1):49-58

A range of initiatives to promote well‐being and empowerment have been introduced into English schools. These ostensibly support the citizenship curriculum that seeks to foster a more active and engaged populace. Whilst children are being encouraged to view their own well‐being as a personal project (and as a badge of successful citizenship), this process is being undermined by an informal curriculum of citizenship, embedded within the culture of performativity, that is promoting a climate of misrecognition within schools. This form of “symbolic violence” (that affects working‐class families disproportionately) is encroaching into the private sphere, traditionally a potential refuge providing opportunities for the development of forms of well‐being that were not dependent on institutional endorsement. It is suggested that some of the counter‐hegemonic values developed in the face of marginalisation might usefully inform issues of citizenship and well‐being in schools in ways that would encourage genuinely empowered forms of citizenship.  相似文献
